That's really interesting! I always used a sharp object to poke the little eye holes to drain the liquid then I would honestly use a hammer to crack it lol it was a very messy process! I think cooking it in the oven would work pretty well. Does the coconut meat spoil faster when it is cooked though? That would be my only concern!

i used to do it that way too! i always used the straw method to get the water and then i smashed it with a rock! it was this year i found out the coconut heating thing, though my grandma always said that you could easily break it putting it on the stovetop.
wether you heat it in the oven or in the stove it really won't cook, it just gets hot enough for the shell to come off, but it does give it a nice toasted smell, and even a better taste. i think it'll last the same this way than raw.
thanks for passing by!
